MY STORY...
Before coming to Canada, I pursued my passion for architecture and spent a year studying it. The aspect that I loved the most was designing and creating models of buildings using various materials. However, after moving to Canada, I decided to pursue a different path and studied business at SFU to become an analyst. It wasn’t until my final year of school that I began questioning whether I wanted to spend my days staring at a computer screen in an office.
While watching cake shows on TV, I was fascinated by the incredible edible creations that the bakers made. So, when my cousin ordered a custom cake for her birthday from a local bakery, I was excited to try it. Although the cake looked beautiful, it was disappointingly sweet and dense, and many guests barely took a second bite. I sampled other cakes from different bakeries in town, but most were the same – visually appealing but overwhelmingly sugary.
I also became aware of how challenging it can be to order a beautiful and luxurious cake, with some cake shops requiring complicated ordering processes.
That’s when I realized my goal: to make cakes that not only look stunning but also taste light and fluffy with a minimal amount of sugar and aiming to simplify the process of ordering luxurious and delectable sweets as much as possible.
I experimented with various recipes and design techniques, transferring the creativity that I loved in architecture to cake-making. The first cake I made was a unicorn cake for a friend’s birthday, and I practiced for two weeks straight. The stress paid off, and the cake was a hit!
The compliments and encouragement I received from that event motivated me to continue practicing and perfecting my techniques with new recipes. After finishing school, I decided to pursue my passion for cake-making and founded Dory Cakes.
